Read allA group of teenagers come together to indulge in that great Canadian pastime, the house-party, and find themselves literally confined to the kitchen trapped by an extraordinary well manicured carpet in the living room. Elsewhere, the parents of these kids have a dinner party of their own, where suburban pretense slowly melts away exposing childish obsessions.

    Dull And Pointless

    KITCHEN PARTY is a film about, well, a house party. You could probably figure out the basic plot points based just on that, and to go into any further detail regarding that would be a waste of time and also I don't feel like it, frankly.

    This movie offers nothing new. It's the same old garbage we've seen a bunch of times. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about it, nor much in the way of real entertainment even, save for a few halfway decent jokes that would have been used better if places in an actually good script. Do not recommend.

    So are we really like that?

    This film about a group of teenager doing a little forbidden party. Mainly the movie is very interresting for it's way of it makes his character talk. We can easily find the major themes in the movies : generation problem, drugs and gun and perhaps family. The uncool kid is the very first character of his kind (never seen that way of thinking in any other film). He is like the teller of the story, doesn t do much, doesn t miss much neither. He is the morality of the film basically. If you like to see how it is like to be a teenager in our days I really recommand you this movie. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did for it's truth that he is saying.

    i liked it

    this is the second film from writer/director Gary Burns,the first one being The Suburbanators,which i have yet to see.i liked it quite bit.it took me awhile to warm up to it,but once i got into it,i really enjoyed it.the characters and situations come across as pretty real.many people can probably relate to some of the characters and the situations.the acting is very good.the dialogue is often funny.the film reminded me style wise of Clerks by Kevin Smith,except it's much funnier and more clever,than Clerks was,i think.i loved the ending.it was perfect.overall,it's a pretty decent 81 minutes or so.for me,Kitchen Party is a 7/10

    Highschool party in repressed household

    Intercuts between high school kids at one home, and typical wasp parents drinking at dinner party, which leads to a crisis for all concerned. The satire of white middle class life is old hat, and the teen life presented was done much better by same director in previous, debut effort - The Suburbanators. Skip this, and catch that one instead.

    Take that, "Can't Hardly Wait!"

    Probably one of the more subtle, original, realistic but no less funny flick about what happens when ultra-tight-ass parents go out to a dinner party and leave the son at home. As the title denotes, this film does involve a kitchen party, and the young actors in the film play it out with such deadpan realism that it could pass for a documentary. Accurate, timely and biting. A fine example of how to make a movie about teens alone in a house.
